论文摘要
我们介绍了月光的简要概述,重点是与物理学的联系。 Moonshine共同指的是连接组理论,分析数理论和顶点操作员代数或保形场理论的一组现象。月光的现代化身是在弦理论中的各种BPS中出现的,并通过二元性在枚举几何形状中不变。我们调查了新旧发展,并突出了仍然存在的许多开放问题中的一些。
We present a brief overview of Moonshine with an emphasis on connections to physics. Moonshine collectively refers to a set of phenomena connecting group theory, analytic number theory, and vertex operator algebras or conformal field theories. Modern incarnations of Moonshine arise in various BPS observables in string theory and, via dualities, invariants in enumerative geometry. We survey old and new developments, and highlight some of the many open questions that remain.
